4. Do you think this would help Excelsior??

   redheadmommy05 posted a topic in Online Learning

   I just had an idea:D although i am sure someone has thought of it before. Do you think the BONs would be more satisfied if Excelsior had some sort documented work program in which our supervisors at our jobs would fill out "time sheets" and send them...

   Thanks visiting. Are you from this area? I did go to the LPN school at Wilson college. FCCTC rents space on the campus for their LPN program. The majority of the RN students were from Penn State Mont Alto and a couple were from HACC Gettysburg.

   Hopefully, PA continues to accept Excelsior grads without a problem, I know for a fact i have had more in depth clinical experience with my LPN school than the Penn State Mont Altos ASN students. Some of their students never even perform indwelling c...
